Between 1660 and 1832 books such as Cheyne\u2019s<\/span>\u00a0English Malady\u00a0<\/i><\/span>and Adair\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Essays on Fashionable Diseases\u00a0<\/i><\/span>created a substantial debate on the relationship between fashion and sickness, linking melancholy, the vapours, nervousness, gout, consumption and many other conditions with the elite and superior sensibility. This conference aims to include voices from both within the social and medical elite and beyond, and to look at diseases that have not previously been examined in this context and at what can be learned from \u2018unfashionable\u2019 illnesses. It also aims to consider not only diseases associated with social prestige, but also with the medical critique of fashionable luxurious lifestyles, and the debate on \u2018imaginary\u2019 diseases. The role of culture in creating, framing and spreading conceptions of fashionable disease will also be considered.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
